HOKE’B RESIGNATION RUMOR SAYS MR. SMITH HAS PLACED IT IN THE PRESIDENT’S HANDS. He Hm Different Views, It Is Hald, From His Chief on the Question of Party Polley—W. D. Bynnm Mentioned For the Place. V Washington, Aug. 24. — The news that Secretory Hoke Smith hod resigned and that his resignation had been aceepted by the president, which was exclusively announced by the Associated Press Saturday, created considerable stir in political circles here yesterday, although the probability of Mr. Smith’s retirement lias been anticipated eVer since his paper, the Atlanta Journal, declared that it would support Bryan and Bewail. Mr. Smith still declined to discuss the subject yesterday, but it is known that the personal relations between the president and Mr. Smith have in no wise been disturbed. Mr. Smith’s resignation, his friends say, grew out of his differences with his chief on the question of party policy, and his delicate desire not to embarrass the president at such a time. , Beyond the question of his conception of party loyalty in acquiescing in the will of the majority, Mr. Smith, during his campaign for the gold standard in Georgia against ex-Speaker Crisp, had given a personal pledge that he would, if defeated, support "the nominees of thecon- ' vention. As an honorable man his friends say that he felt it his duty to redeem that pledge. He informed the president of his position and intentions, and to avoid embarrassments placed his resignation at the former’s disposal. It is said that Mr. Cleveland remonstrated. The correspondence on the subject, if published, would no doubt be very interesting, bnt is doubtful whether it will ever be given out. It can be stated, however, with great positiveness that the step which Secretary Smith felt himself compelled to take has not in any way affected the warm regard the president and Mr. Smith entertained for each other, There was a good deal of gossip about Mr. Smith’s successor yesterday. It seems altogether unlikely that John M. Reynolds, the assistant secretary, will be promoted. It is regarded as much more probable that a new inan will be selected, probably from the middle west, Indiana, Illinois or Missouri. The names of ex-Governor Francis of Missouri, exCongressman Bynum of Indiana, and ex-Congressman Ben Cable of Illinois are those around whom gossip most persistantly clings. All are pronounced gold Democrats. fro SUCCEED SMITH. David Howland Francis Appointed Secrotary of the Interior. Buzzard's Bay, Mass., Aug. 24.—Announcement was made by President Cleveland at Gray Gables last night of the appointment of David R. Francis, ex-governor of Missouri, as secretary of the interior, vice' Hbn. Hoke Smith, who recently resigned the secretaryship because of * his financial views. Mr. Francis wfll probably assume office on Sept. 1, as that is the date named in Secretary Smith’s resignation. Ex-Governor David Rowland Francis is nearly 40 years of age, having been born at Richmond, Madison county. Ky., Oct. 'L 1850. His education was received in Washington University. St. Louis, his family having moved to that city. In 1870 he graduated, receiving the degree of B. A. His first employment was with a grain commission house, continuing until 1877, when he began business for himself.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATS. Expect Well Known Business Men to Be Selected as Delegates. Indianapolis, Aug. 26.—1 t is said at »headquarters of the national Democrats in this city that there will be as large a number of prominent men at the coming gold convention as were at either the Republican or regular Democratic conventions. The booms of Senator Vilas and Henry Waterson, it is said, show no signs cf colapsing although it is talked that it would be a great sacrifice for Vilas to accept. It is’thought he would be the most acceptable to the administration. Chairman Pickens of the state committee says he believes all of the district conventions to bo held today will be well attended. Well known business men are expected to bo selected as delegates. It seems certain that a sound money Democrat will be nominated to oppose Mr. Cheadle in the Ninth congressional district. Nominations may alio be made in the Fifth against John Clark Ridpath, and the Seventh, where Charles Cooper is the regular Democratic nominee. It is said some of the gold men want to hold a state convention and put a full state ticket in the field, but it is thought the suggestion will not materialize, and that most of the sound money men will vote the regular state ticket. The hotels are said to realize that their capacity will be and are refusing to engage rooms to residents of ' the state until the outside people h ave been accommodated. The Majestic block, a new 10-story structure, just finished, will probably be secured and fitted up for those Jailing to secure rooms at the hotels. Potters Visit McKinley. Canton, 0., Aug. 25."—A thousand workmen from the 28 potteries of East Liverpool, 0., traveled 75 miles yesterday to call on Major McKinley at his home. Chairman W. L. Smith, Colonel J. N. Taylor and W. B. Blake headed the delegation. The latter is a pottery bench worker and an eloquent talker. The visitors on the way to Canton and later on their march to McKinley’s residence attracted recruits, until 8,000 en- j cheering people gathered about the McKinley home. Serious Floods In NlcaraifUfu Washington, Aug. 25. — Consul O’Hara reports the details of serious floods along the Mosquito coast near Bluefield, Nicaragua. The town of Rams was completely submerged, the water rising to the roofs and sweeping Uway many houses. The British steamy ler Hawk wont to the rescue and was 'carried out to sea. The government dock at Rama was carried away entirely, Only two lives were reported lost. 1

TOWN BURNED DOWN/ Onton, go, Mich., Destroyed by Aotm Forest Fire.. Green Bay, Wis., Aug. 86.-—Ontona-gon, Mich., wm destroyed by fire this afternoon. Os the city of about 8,000 population hardly a house is left standing. Among the property destroyed is the extensive plant of the Diamond Match lumber in their yards. Conservative estimates place the loss at $1,600,000. No lives wore lost at last reports. Communication has been out off and no news will be possible. The fire had been burning in the woods southwest of the city for two weeks. It was nearly out when a southwest gale yesterday swept it upon the town. At noon it was seen that the city was doomed. A message was sent to Superintendent Minturn of the St. Paul railroad at Green Bay asking for a train to take the people away. The operator who sent the message was driven away from his instrument by the burning of the building. A train was ordered from Pori, 26 miles south. The train reached Ontonagon and took a load of people to Rockland, 10 miles away/ ’lt left again for Ontonagon for another load and since then nothing has-been heard from there. At. 5 o’clock the flames-had swept through the main part of the city, destroying all the business houses, many residences, the match company’s mills, the water works, electric light plant, courthouse, jail etc. The flames then worked up the river to the rest of the city. The operator w’ho left the instrument which had been temporarily put up said nothing could save the city from utter annihilation and that unless the wind went down by dark every house would bo .destroyed. The wind did not subside. It is unlikely that the city will be rebuilt. KNIGHTS AT CLEVELAND. Pythtan Sentiment Said to Be Against the German Retual. Clevedvnd, Aug. 25. —Mayor McKesson, who is a member of the Knights of Pythias, yesterday issued a special proclamation, -welcoming the visiting knights to the city and calling upon the people to accord them generous hospitality. The session of the supreme lodge is likely to be interesting throughout. The chief question for consideration, it is said, will be the German ritual. Interviews with a number of supreme representatives, show that opinion is pretty unanimious against restoring the German ritual. Supreme Keeper of Records White said: “In my opinion the Germans have either got to obey the law or get out.’’ The general sentiment is that the English ritual ought to be used in this country, where English is the language spoken. It is hinted by some that the Germans are agitating the subject now because of the action of the Order in refusing to permit members to engage in liquor selling. Another question is the incorporation of the Uniform rank. The- supreme lodge and endowment rank are both incopoiated and it is insisted that the Uniform rank ought also to be incorporated. The change of place of meeting for the supreme lodge from Minneapolis to this city is likely to be investigated. When the change was made it was asserted that the refusal of the railroads to prant a 1 cent rate was the the cause. i It is now said that no such rate was given for Cleveland and some of the Minnesota Knights express determination to ascertain the real reason for the change. FOUGHT A DUEL TO THE DEATH. Remarkable Haud-to-Haud Combat by Two Young Men. Madison, Fla., Aug. 26.—George Page and NX ill Morgan fought one of the most remarkable duels on record. For six ' months Page and Morgan have been rivals for the affection of a pretty young > woman. Her conduct soon drove the rivals to desperation. Finally Page invited Morgan to accompany him for a walk. Morgan consented, and as soon as they were outside Page proposed that they take each other by the left hand and’ shoot out the quarrel, the survivor to take the' girl. Morgan agreed, and they drew their pistols and began firing. Each man fired five shots. When friends arrived Morgan was found dead and Page was dying. WAITING PLATT’S DECISION. Booms of all the Candidates For Governor Have Collapsed. Saratoga, N. Y., The end of a long day of many conferences the situation last night has hardly been equalled in the history of state Republican conventions. Thomas C. Platt, for many years the leader of the party and but once an officeholder,'is besieged in so vigorous a manner that his determination not to boa candidate is likely to be overridden and the scones of David B. Hill’s nomination in 1801 may find Republican repetition. Men who for mouths have nursed gubernatorial booms find them on the verge of collapse. _ WOMAN IS KILLED BY BANDITS. Stage Robbers Take the Else of Mrs. Bay Reems of Philadelphia. „ Guthrie, O. T., Aug. 26.—News has been brought here by deputy marshals of a fatal'stage robbery in Day county. Four bandits stopped a stage near Grand and ordered the passengers to hand over their valuables. Mrs. Ray Reems of Philadelphia refused and was shotdead.

Bangor, Me., Aug. 24.— Charles Potter, a guide at Minot, was shot and instantly killed Saturday at Deer Island by 0. T. Russell of Boston, a boy of 15 years.

A MYSTERIOUS LEArv. ft Was • Worm Holo !□ the Keel e»f the Sailboat. Then- was a man had a Connecticutriver bout built, which cost him $235. and t:l ■■ was a beauty. She could go quite riicely and the man was pleased 1 with her till he found she leaked. “Oh, well,” said he, “that’s easily remedied.” So he looked her all over for the leak. He couldn’t find a crevice. He filled up several places that he thought might 1 have let in a little water, but it didn’t 1 do the least bit of good. He gave it up finally and sold the boat for $35, and thought he had the best of it at that. The fallow who bought the craft, says tin New York Herald, knew she was a fast sailor and he had an Idea that he was smart enough to find that leak, but it wasn’t long before he began to think maybe he wasn’t such a success as he might be. She leaked just the same regular amount all the time. ' One Sunday he made up his mind he ; would find that hole if he never came back. He took her out and, after she bad shown that she was in good leaking form, he beached her. After the i tide went down he went all around her, I listening us a doctor listens for lung ' trouble. He heard a sucking noise ' about her keel. He got down on the ! under side and in the timber of the I keel was a worm hole in the wood. It I had been there when the beam was shaped. It probably wound around like a letter S and to look for it on the inside would be something like hunting a needle in a haystack. ITe stuck a match in the hole to see how big it was. It just fitted. The match broke off and he let it go at that. She has never leaked a drop from that day to this. WHY THE GIRLS LAUGHED. Young Lady in a Fashionable School Wai Unable to See a Caller. In a fashionable uptown boarding c<»lior>l the of he. v -dav a vnlca I boasted that her sister was coming on i. the next visiting day with a handsome i and very captivating young fellow, - She said all the girls might see him, | but only two or three of fier best and ' dearest friends should be introduced to him. It was to be a case of “you may look but you mustn’t touch" to nearly all the school. Visiting day came, says the New York Sun. and with it came the sister and the young man. There was a flutter all over the school. The visitors sat in—the parlor while Miss Rapid gave the finishing touches to her toilet. Meantime the principal of the school entered the parlor. She asked for the visitors’ names and got them. “And you are not related to this young lady?” she inquired of the youth. “No, ma’am,” said he; “just a friend, that’s all.” “Oh,” said the principal, “only’ relatives may visit our pupils, so I must ask you to let me entertain you in my’ office until the sisters have had their visit.” This was the situation when Miss Rapid came down into the parlor. She bore herself bravely, but all through the air of the big brownstone house there was an undertone of strange, choking, indescribable noise. It was the suppressed giggling of the other girls. SHARKS’ FINS ARE HIGH. Becoming Scarce, and Chinese Statesmen Are Greatly Exercised. Chinese politicians are doubtleSs waking great-capital out of the fact just now that the price of sharks’ fins has gone up enormously of late. Whether this is really due to these hot sea leviathans’becoming scarcer, like whales, or to their displaying more actjvity in evading capture,'is disputable, but the fact remains that their fins, ns a delicacy, are becoming dearer and dearer. It is generally supposed that sharks’ fins are never eaten outside of the celestial empire, but they do occasionally figure in select banquets in England and France. So far as known they hat e not become ariapie luxury in this country, however, though they are occasionly served at banquets .given by San Francisco epicures. The Chinese are very fond of them, and, notwithstanding the cost of the last war, still show such a desire for these delicacies that the price is still rising. A Costly Helle. An antiquarian in Taunton recently was the victim of a new kind of swindle. ■ He sent five dollars in. answer to an advertisement which said the sender would receive a well-preserved piece of protective armor which had probably been used .in the Trojan war. The preciotissrelic arrived on schedule time, and on opening the bundle he found an old pair of inusty-looking corsets bearing the following legend: “Dear Sir— This beautiful piece of ancient work is tmvtight by the most eminent antiquarians to be the very identical corset worn by the famous Helen when she took refbge with Paris within the ancient city of Troy. If this wtfi; fiot the ease, it was probably the property of the fair Cleopatra. Anyhow, we received the money, and it is kindly acknowledged by X. Y. 2},”
